Trump fixed that;they can enter Israel.

[SGCOS]

this is quite amazing, and we are seeing it in our lifetime. Members of the United States House of Representatives being denied access to Israel, one of our biggest allies on the planet.

Excellent; this way, they won’t be able to foment an incident and then blame Israel. Also, I wouldn’t put it past the palescumians to pull a false flag incident, assassinate them and blame it on Israel. What these imbecilic witches don’t understand is that they are merely pawns being used. Whether it’s their dead bodies or their ever-in-motion hate spewing mouths, they are just tools.

BDS?

Bibi derangement syndrome?

Denying entry to the congresswomen could further strain relations between Netanyahu, who has highlighted his close ties with Trump, and the Democratic leadership in Congress.

Doesn't visiting Israel kind of contradict the whole idea of "boycotting" them?

Did the definition of "boycott" change somewhere?

Too bad for Dem that Israel does not have Open Borders:-)

They could take a boat and dock on the shores of The Gaza Strip.

Or fly into an airport in TGS.

“after fierce debates on the contentious matter”

that’s some seriously subjective reporting right there!

I believe “after debate on the matter” would have correct.

Who’s f**ked now Tlaib ?

[gogeo]

"Banning Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib from entering Israel and Palestine is a sign of enormous disrespect to these elected leaders, to the United States Congress, and to the principles of democracy.

Respect works both ways.

So many threads. I do think it was an error. As I understand it their agenda to promote BDS was known to Israel. IMO, better to let them vent their propaganda in "palestine", then throw them out of the country. I've read it included a visit to the Temple Mount accompanied by PA officials, and rejecting Israeli security. Bad stuff. Nice if Israel would release what they have of their plans, but no matter. Tlaib's rejection of a visit to Granny without the right to promote BDS openly demonstrates their duplicity.

It's worth noting that, to my knowledge, this trip, organized by MIFTAH, did not include time in Israel, only Judea and Samaria, those areas under palestinian control. Might have been better if they'd gone along on the AIPAC trip for freshman, which included time with both sides of the conflict.
